It is a colossal failure on the part of our government to not warn parents

of the actual risks associated with vaccines. The blind insistence that

vaccines are safe and effective is not supported by science, at least for a

significant number of our children. There are now 25,000 children per year

developing autism (1 in 150), a problem that has expanded in direct

proportion to the increase in vaccinations. How do you know if your child is

at risk?

 

The government's primary goal appears to be to prevent parents, en masse,

from refusing to vaccinate their children. To prevent such a " run on the

public health bank " all caution is being recklessly thrown to the wind.

American children are now the most vaccinated people in the world. What are

we actually doing? The vaccination problem needs to be objectively solved so

that public health is maintained, yet needless vaccine injury is avoided.

 

It should not be of any great comfort to parents that scientists hardly

understand how the immune system works. The simplistic idea that vaccines

offer protection against disease has an element of truth and a significant

element of risk. This article explores the risk in greater depth. I will

first explain what is known about the nature of the risk and follow with

some natural options that can really help out.

 

*Vaccine Adjuvants – A Double-Edged Sword*

 

Giving a fully active virus as a vaccine would obviously cause the disease.

On the other hand, a weakened or deadened form of the virus may not produce

much of an immune response thereby making the vaccine worthless. This

problem has been " solved " by combining the weakened disease with an immune

activator called an adjuvant.

 

An adjuvant does not contain the disease; rather it is intended to initiate

the first step in fighting an infection – the inflammatory response. This is

like giving a general wake up call to the immune system. This can be done

with an irritant or a more specific toxin the immune system is likely to

recognize based on eons of exposure.

 

In the irritant category the most common adjuvants used in vaccines your

child will get are salts of aluminum (aluminum phosphate and aluminum

hydroxide). The safety of aluminum salts has been called into question

following the poor health of many Gulf War Veterans who received multiple

aluminum adjuvant vaccinations. Many scientists consider that their poor

health was caused by the adjuvants in the vaccines they were given. In 2003

French researchers identified aluminum hydroxide vaccine

adjuvants<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/alum\

inum_vaccine_adjuvant_linked_to_chronic_fatigue_and_pain>as

the cause of a new disease consisting of pain and chronic fatigue;

noting

similarities to problems in Gulf War soldiers.

 

In a recent study mice were given aluminum hydroxide at doses comparable to

Gulf War soldiers. Extensive testing was done of their cognitive ability as

well as analysis of the nervous system upon sacrifice. The results showed

that aluminum hydroxide caused nerve-related motor

defects<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/alumin\

um_vaccine_adjuvant_is_nerve_toxic>.

Analysis of brain tissue showed 255% increase in inflammatory markers along

with 35% loss of motor neurons.

 

It has been over a year since this study was published. Why isn't the CDC

doing the same experiment with the adjuvant load from their recommended

vaccine schedule? Any substance that is adversely neurotoxic in an adult is

likely to be more neurotoxic in the evolving nervous system of a baby. Not

following up on this is gross negligence on the part of the CDC.

 

Another common adjuvant is bacterial endotoxin (the outer membrane of the

cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria), also known as lipopolysaccharide or

LPS. Since we have been battling bacteria since the beginning of our

evolution, our immune systems recognize LPS as an invasion – setting off a

powerful inflammatory immune system reaction. The toxicity of any bacterial

infection relates to LPS.

 

Scientists at the National Institutes of

Health<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/adjuvan\

ts_pose_significant_toxicity_problem>freely

acknowledge that the proinflammatory effects of adjuvants in vaccines

" underlie many of the observed toxic effects. " What the new science shows

very clearly is that all the inflammation that is generated by adjuvants is

actually not necessary for activating the immune response.

 

This means that our government is sticking by a vaccine program that relies

on firing a toxic shotgun at the immune system even though they know a

laser-guided approach would have much less risk of vaccine injury from

direct toxicity. The problem for our government is that they don't currently

have the ability to make safer vaccines; thus they blindly defend the safety

of a very crude approach and refuse to conduct tests that would easily show

the current vaccine program is not safe. It is quite clear that an inflamed

nervous

system<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/glial_n\

erve_cell_inflammation_in_autism>is

an undeniable feature in autism.

 

*What Does NF-kappaB Have to Do With It?*

 

Nuclear Factor kappa-B is the " brain " residing within every cell of your

body, including cells of your nervous system. It is a gene transcription

factor, meaning that it tells your cells how to behave depending on what is

happening. When everything is running smoothly, NF-kappaB has its feet up on

the lawn chair in a relaxed mode of operation. Under stress NF-kappaB

initiates survival strategies. NF-kappaB is the main regulator of all

inflammatory and immune responses, and is intimately involved with the

healthy function of your nervous system. NF-kappaB is an active intelligence

within your cells. The last thing you would ever want to do is mess up

NF-kappaB.

 

Adjuvants, due to their intentionally inflammatory mode of operation,

activate NF-kappaB. This is done to ramp up the immune system so it can

" see " the weakened virus in the vaccine. The million dollar question is:

" How much NF-kappaB activation can a child take before their NF-kappaB

system overheats and sets a fire in their brain called autism? " When

NF-kappaB overheats it generates large amounts of inflammatory immune system

messengers (like TNFa and IL6) and massive numbers of free radicals that

damage nerve cells.

If a child is already acutely inflamed then the NF-kappaB pump has already

been primed and the risk for vaccine injury is greater. Acute inflammation

is caused by illness, injury, surgery, poor diet, and stress at home. This

problem is magnified if the child had a history of inflammation while in the

womb, was born prematurely, or had health struggles during the first few

years of life. Even a previous round of vaccines can prime the inflammatory

NF-kappaB pump. Environmental toxicity is another factor that cannot be

ignored, as is the health of the mother prior to and during pregnancy. A

mother's obesity and eating habits have a significant effect on the nerve

health of her child.

 

The main point to understand is that if the NF-kappaB system is already on

the edge of overheating due to other factors, then the intentional pushing

of this system with vaccines poses a serious risk to the child. Multiple

vaccines given at one time, with multiple pro-inflammatory adjuvants,

obviously increase the risk. Any person objectively reviewing the science on

this issue could reach no other conclusion.

 

The issue of NF-kappaB is so important that the next generation of

vaccines<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/manip\

ulating_nf_kappab_is_crucial_in_better_vaccine_development>will

utilize it in an attempt to make less

toxic

vaccines<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/strat\

egies_for_new_vaccines>(the

laser-guided approach rather than the shotgun). While

NF-kappaB-targeted vaccines will be less blatantly toxic, making them free

of adverse side effects is another story altogether. Manipulating NF-kappaB

is playing with the essence of the life force of a cell. At any given time

there are numerous ons and offs relating to how NF-kappaB is naturally

working to maintain health. The new vaccines will turn on the inflammatory

aspect of NF-kappaB – which could easily upset the applecart in some other

needed aspect of health.

 

No matter how good research scientists are at developing new vaccines, there

will always be a percentage of at-risk-already-inflamed children who are

likely to respond in a poor manner. Vaccine safety is not just about better

vaccines; it's also about protecting those who are most likely to poorly

react to them. It is not possible to have a good public health policy for

disease prevention that fails to take this fact into account.

 

*Nutrients that Can Help*

 

Mother Nature has provided an array of NF-kappaB modulating compounds.

Unlike drugs, nutrients are far more compatible with genes as we evolved

using nutrition to assist survival. When we provide our cells needed

nutrients, NF-kappaB seems to know what to do with them. It is very clear

that NF-kappaB uses nutrition to help cool itself off – like a tall glass of

ice water on a hot day.

 

A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables is the foundation for NF-kappaB

anti-inflammatory nutrition. When a mother eats this way during pregnancy

and while nursing she is passing tremendous benefit to her child. It is now

clear that such good health habits are passed along, a type of fetal

programming<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/weight/articles/\

mothers_healthy_choices_influence_obesity_in_offspring/>of

the taste system, wherein the child is now more likely to eat

healthfully

and consequently have better function of NF-kappaB.

 

On top of a good diet there are certain " super nutrients " that significantly

help NF-kappaB behave in a healthy manner. These help NF-kappaB not get

overheated or too bent out of shape. The following list of nutrients is by

no means complete; I've selected them because I've used them for years and I

know they work. There is plenty of science to support their common sense

use, for young and old.

 

Such extra nutrient support can be used as needed to:

*1)* Calm down nerves from existing life stress or a pattern of wear and

tear,

*2)* Calm down nerves following an inflammatory event, such as vaccinations,

*3)* Stabilize nerves that are struggling,

*4)* Generally improve cognitive function and nerve development.

 

The five nutrients I've selected for discussion are the tocotrienol form of

vitamin E, the herb silymarin, grape seed extract, lipoic acid, and

acetyl-l-carnitine. This is a treasure trove of NF-kappaB modulating nerve

and energy support nutrients.

 

Tocotrienols are a special form of vitamin E with unique antioxidant

properties that are in many ways superior to plain vitamin E. For example, a

recent study showed that tocotrienols offered superior protection to the

nervous system from

methylmercury<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/\

brain_protection_against_methylmercury_from_tocotrienols>–

a potent nerve toxin. It is very clear that tocotrienols work by

modulating

NF-kappaB<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/toco\

are a superior brain protecting

and are also helpful for inflammation in the circulatory

system<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/tocotri\

enols_modulate_nf_kappab_driven_circulatory_stress>by

reducing NF-kappaB.

 

Silymarin or Milk Thistle is an herb that is commonly used to protect the

liver as well as to help the liver clear toxins. Silymarin also works

by modulating

NF-kappaB<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/anti\

_inflammatory_properties_of_silymarin>to

turn down inflammation. One study showed it was able to stop the LPS

induced

toxicity<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/silym\

brain cells. Another study showed it stop the autoimmune-driven

damage<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/silymar\

in_stops_nerve_damage>to

nerves (demyelination) while reducing inflammation.

 

Grape seed extracts contain proanthocyanidins that have also been shown to

directly turn off LPS toxicity by turning down

NF-kappaB<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/grap\

e_seed_extracts_protect_against_lps_induced_toxic_inflammation>.

Taking the extract before damage to the nerves, as from alcohol consumption,

helps prevent brain

damage<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/grape_s\

eed_extracts_protect_your_brain_from_damage>.

Taking the extract after damage to nerves is already in progress helps stop

the

damage<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/grape_s\

eed_extracts_protect_brain_from_ongoing_damage>.

Grape seed extracts are another top choice for nerve protection.

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine work synergistically to

restore mitochondrial

energy

production<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/lip\

oic_acid_and_alc_improve_brain_energy_function>in

nerve cells. It is now believed that one factor involved with vaccine

injury is poor mitochondrial function. Lipoic Acid is another nutrient now

proven to lower

NF-kappaB<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/lipo\

Acetyl-l-Carnitine has been extensively studied for its role in memory and

cognitive function. It also exerts powerful nerve

protection<http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsroom/index.php/studies/entry/ace\

a variety of different mechanism.

As you can see, there is plenty of science to support the use of nutrition

to help out the brain – and this is just a sample of some of the better

options. These nutrients are typically quite easy to mix into juice, apple

sauce, or yogurt. The tocotrienol oil can be squeezed from the softgel

capsule directly into the mouth. Powders can be mixed in water and

administered with a dropper during nursing. Moms can take any of these

nutrients which will transfer in her milk.

 

Nutrition excels at the safe and natural regulation of inflammation,

including nerve inflammation, primarily by helping NF-kappaB work normally.
